Love Has No Boundaries (Narrative Shorts)

Valentina reports for duty at a sparkling, all-glass skyscraper on the hottest day ever recorded in the city.

What starts as a simple cry for fresh air turns into an intervention as her vagina asks after her wages and demands better working conditions. The heat will force Valentina to come face-to-face with a part of her anatomy she’s always ignored, and it will embolden her in the process. Though Valentina initially finds her abhorrent, her vagina is truly an ally who will help her value herself and be proud of who she is.
